With nuclear threats rising it is little surprise that 62% of the British public now think that nuclear war is the event most likely to cause human extinction. So, we have a huge responsibility to help build a global anti-nuclear movement to ensure this never happens. This means reaching out to all thosewho recognise the dangers of nuclear weapons and want to be part of our campaign for a nuclear-free world.

So, I am confident we can count on your continued support at this critical time. Please donate to our spring appeal and help raise £18,000 towards the vital campaign activities we have planned for 2025.

The election of Donald Trump has made the world an even more dangerous place. Deadly US nuclear weapons could be deployed in Britain any day now.With Trump threatening countries across the world, global tensions are increasing even further. Trump’s nukes will put Britain on the front line – making us a target – but offering us no protection. 

Meanwhile, the British government’s reckless plans to make welfare cuts whilstincreasing military spending, will not only make the population poorer, but will fail to keep us secure. Instead it is dragging us towards greater threats of war and the catastrophic use of nuclear weapons. 

So, for another year, CND has its work cut out. Here is what we have planned:

• We will be sending a delegation to Japan to participate in the international anniversary events in Hiroshima and Nagasaki this year. 
• We also plan to secure a UK visit from a Japanese Atomic Bomb Survivor (Hibakusha) so that people can hear first-hand the horrors of nuclear war. 
• We are organising a national tour of Britain’s nuclear bases to put the spotlight on the nuclear dangers on our doorsteps, and to help build regional and local support for nuclear disarmament. 
• In parliament, we are working flat out to secure action from MPs against the military spending increases and to expose the nuclear secrecy surrounding US nuclear weapons being deployed in Britain
• We will continue lobbying MPs to call for the scrapping of Britain’s nuclear weapons system and exposing the out-of-control costs which are draining our public finances. 
• We will also be challenging the government’s plans to roll out new nuclear power plants, highlighting the dangers that radioactive waste poses to the environment.
• We’re investing in creating more high-quality, accessible social media content, such as videos, to help us engage with a new generation of supporters who are increasingly concerned about the rising risk of nuclear war. 
• We’re also developing more support to help local groups find new ways to reach new supporters.  

We all know that the challenges we face are huge. But with your help, together, we can meet these global challenges and secure the peaceful, sustainable, nuclear-free future the world so desperately needs. 

Please help us and make a donation of any size, if you can.

In peace,
